When you account for all of the imminent dangers posed to Lincoln, CA because of its location, you have a 60% chance of your house being devastated in the next 15 years. You've chosen to live there and accept the risks that accompany that decision, so it will be hard to feel sorry for you, not if, but when something happens. Please don't sugarcoat where you live without at least being truthful about the downsides. |
We are the 5th safest city in the state of California.
We do not have flooding here. Twenty years ago it flooded north of us a few towns over, but it hasn't happen since. Our city has been preparing for any flooding, and their flood plan worked as expected. We had two winters of intense rain, no flooding.
We do not have earthquakes here. Your little website there about earthquakes mentions earthquake prone areas that are hundreds of miles away from me. I've never heard of the Cleveland Hills fault (seems to one hundred miles north of me), and the Sierra Nevada fault is hundreds of miles south of us. The Hayward fault is 125 miles from me.
If it makes you feel any better, it snowed here once. Sort of not really - just flurries. But the native Californians didn't know what to do.
All kidding aside, we had a murder here last year (or the year before). However, that was some out of town bullshit - a woman from Nevada moved here to get away from her stalker boyfriend, and her stalker boyfriend drove down here and shot her dead. We had a home invasion last year; That was about someone's pot stash. The year before that we had another home invasion; It was kind of funny - someone broke into their house, homeowner armed himself with a shotgun, the homeowner was disarmed by the intruder and shot.
I love where I live. I am an hour away from everything interesting, and none of the bad shit.
